I found these words and decided to reprint them here. Words of wisdom. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ **************************************** So let’s acknowledge the flaws of online dating: the liars, the bores, the flakes, the crazies, the morons, the perverts, the poor spellers, and so on. These people exist offline as well. They just have access to you online. So as I see it, you have two choices: quit online dating and make a supreme effort to go to as many parties, coffee shops and adult education classes as possible OR try to find a way to avoid the worst of the online daters. The third, and most popular choice, is to quit and wait for your soulmate to drop out of the sky, like “The Secret” for love. Yeah, keep praying, people. Your best bet is to keep dusting yourself off, learning from your mistakes, and staying in the game. Sure, sometimes you’ll get burned. But sometimes, with enough perseverance (as well as luck, timing, a good profile and a positive attitude), you’ll fall in love. And if it hasn’t happened to you yet, you can say “What’s wrong with these terrible people on these awful sites?” Or you can ask, “How can I make this work for me, despite the obvious flaws?” You know where I stand. But I’ll tell you, all it takes is one person – and you’ll be standing right with me. ************************************************************ ************************************************************ **************************************** Anyways I really think that these words really tells you what online dating is line. So.... in every conversation I try to give my best and try to get to know who I am talking to. Maybe I will get lucky and meet the man of my dreams. I'm just a country girl looking for my country boy. When I am not working I am at home taking care of all of my animals. Getting to know you is best done while doing things. I say this because I have a son. You can sit with him over dinner and he will be quiet and answer questions but you never see his personality. However, get him doing something he likes and watch his personality come out. Having said that... I know that to click with a guy and see his personality you got to get him active. Actually I think that is correct with anyone. So... lets do something that is fun... Lets get off the computer and meet and have fun. How does miniature golf sound. Yep you will most likely kick my butt, and when you start beating me, you will see my personality lol... then we will be laughing and having fun. No way to get through putt-putt without laughing. Now if you know where we can get in some cars and start racing, or playing bumper cars... lol... oh yeah... lets have fun... Then to see if you can go from one extreme to the next... how does a pretty vacant bar with a jutebox... Dang do they have those??? I think I have seen them at the VFW or the American Legion, but that was years ago when dad was alive. Dances... waltz, two-step, shuffle, jitter bug. all the fancy steps including the pretzel. I have even created some dances from these to handle the faster or the slower beats with these dances. It is slight modifications. However, I can teach the modifications if you already know how to dance the regular dance well. Anyway, I dance a lot especially around my house. I have over 500 CDs all old country. Prior to 2000. I have early country to 2000. I say this as you will not find Blake Shelton or other new ones among them. I love 97.1 if that gives you a hint of my style. Oh... my style... if at all then someplace where there is a lot of blacktop, blaring 97.1 on the radio and dancing around on the blacktop. So does my geeky ways sound cool to you?? As we get to know each other then we can go visit the farm and see the animals. Do you have any animals??? Do you raise animals?? I do. Do you like that? Do you have experience with that. Need to see that.
